Backyard Barbeque

A couple of new layouts to celebrate the Fourth of July. 
I've been working on design team projects which are detail oriented.  For a change of pace, I made two quick, simple layouts.

Three years ago we had the most fantastic family reunion here.  We spent five glorious days running between the houses in town and then grilling, boating, and swimming at SIL's lake property. Over 1,000 photos were taken.  The little ones were pretty fed up with a camera always in their faces.  But the result is a scrapbook commemorating the occasion---with pages still left to do.  So this is one of those undone pages--finished.

My ds is King of the Grill.  Here he is grilling his specialty--chicken wings--for our July 4th cookout.  You can see a mix of old and new products--things bought 3 years ago to make the album.  The Rusty Pickle paper--a little wrinkled at the top but will be ok once inside its plastic sleeve in the album.  Some Little Yellow Bicycle alphas.  A Maya Road bow.  A Technique Tuesday chipboard frame.  Then I updated with some new embellishments and product.  I used Ranger Faded Jeans in both  ink and crackle paint on the star.  I added
two stickers from Tim Holtz' Idea-ology Seasonal Salvage Stickers (I finally put them to use, Lori!).  One of the stickers is inside a bottlecap which I covered with Glossy Accents.  This technique has been around for a while but this is the very first time I tried it!  I covered the frame with Weathered Wood and then topped it with Faded Jeans.  I edged the outside and inside of the frame with mix of Fired Brick and my brand new Rusty Hinge distress inks.

On this one, I let the Scarlet Lime paper take the lead. I got it along with the ticket strip from Laura at A Kiss on the Chic. The photo colors matched the paper perfectly and seemed appropriate for a guy page.  The cousins title is from My Mind's Eye. 

I may enter this in Alda Steven's weekend challenge over at the flying unicorn social site.  Link is on my sidebar.

Back to the craft table.  Have a great weekend!
